house speaker john boehner has said it himself. this is the law of the land. this is the next big step. if perry and walker don't do t then the federal will do it for them. >> jennifer: this seems to me these republican governors are all about state rights would want to set up this exchange because it allows them to be these states and republican governors in charge and not the hated federal government. why are they fighting? >> they're putting ideology and partisan politics over the benefits of consumers. the great fallacy here is that obama-care is a government takeover of your healthcare. the government will come into your life and control your care. but these exchanges are private insurers they're giving you option. it is a marketplace and a private marketplace for to you pick out the best options amist amidst these horrible ones. it's really partisan talking points no more, no less. >> jennifer: earlier this year chris christie vetoed the bill but since that time the new jersey legislature passed a similar bill, and it's back on his desk, and it's back to

john mccain doubled down on his remarks with john carl. >> is she effectively disqualified from being secretary of state. you would oppose her nomination? >> yes. >> and we're talking filibuster, do whatever you could to block it. >> yes. >> jennifer: of course he would filibuster, in other words stall in the appointment dies. that's filibuster is what happened throughout president obama's term allowing his appointments to languish. in fact, the average obama judicial nominee waited four times as long for a vote as bush appointees. but now finally the president is actually pushing back. he came out guns blazing in his president conference today. >> obama: let me say specifically about susan rice. she has done exemplary work. if senator mccain, graham and others want to go after someone they should go after me. i'm happy to have that discussion with them but for them to go after the u.n. ambassador who had nothing to do with benghazi and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence she had received, and the to besmirch her reputation is outrageous. >> jennifer: preach it mr.

john says -- and i'm reading his words now. that it makes me feel sad that my parents sometimes feed us kids and not themselves. we get food in the clearance aisle and we don't buy whole price things. the food stamps we get aren't enough to feed four people for a month so i'm always excited to go to the food bank. what is mazon doing to help kids like john? >> well, the mission of mazon is really to not just address individual cases of hunger but the array of issues that affect all people who are struggling with food and security. and i think one of the things that's so powerful and so poignant about what john has to say is that at the conclusion of his interview he said that at some point things will turn around for them and when they do, what he wants to do is really help hungry people. he wants to reach out and make things better for others and that kind of compassion and that kind of commitment is so moving. in someone not only so young but so vulnerable right now. our work, our mission is to create circumstances and change
